st re al ays there regardle
of the eather.
I'd like to share a quotation
with you by John Milton which
I re d recently. "The IS ith
deep amaze stand ftxed in­
ste dfact gaze."
Feeling at ho
ars doe feel u lth amaze-
ment. That ord J scarcely.
s rong enough to expre ho
e feel. They fill us with
r wonder and glory as they lift
us right out of ou lves to
higher realms of thinking and
enjoyment. They are permanent,
constant, dependable, everlast­
ing!
e alway welcome the
month of March, usually after
the long, bitter winter has
p d, for it . the time of
the Vernol equinox. On the
20th of March at 11: 14 the sun
will arrive at point half way on
it journey north as it cro s
the equator. It is the beginning
of spring in the northern hernis
phere. Wh t tim for rejoic­
ing!
I am ure that ev ryone has
enjoyed seeing Venus in the
western y these past few
PUBLIC NOTICE
wee . It is quite high and still
very brilliant. At present it is
being joined by Mercury which
is visible for. few hours after
sunset. Loo be 0 Venu and
to the left. Both are gone from
the evening by late arch.
Ven disappears swiftly to
become an excellent morning
star by late spring.
If you are an early riser
you may see Jupiter and Saturn
at this same time in the East.
And do look for all the familiar
winter constellations which are
traveling swiftly aero the sky
all night long. They will not be
there much longer.
